USF2000 Hires Bonilla and Jorge As Driver Coaches for
Series

PALMETTO, March 13, 2010: As a service to its drivers and as a nod of
respect to the series below it on the MAZDASPEED Motorsports driver
development ladder, the USF2000 National Championship presented by Cooper
Tires and powered by Mazda has hired Gerardo Bonilla and Jonatan Jorge as
driver coaches for the 2010 season.

Both Bonilla and Jorge are also coaches for the Skip Barber School and
the BF Goodrich/Skip Barber National presented by Mazda. Bonilla has worked
with the Skip Barber organization for 12 years, and Jorge for six.

"The USF2000 National Championship is a true training-ground series, and
as such we want to be sure to not only provide track time, but also
high-level coaching so these young guns can develop quickly into polished
racers and be ready for the next step, Star Mazda," said Dan Andersen,
promoter of the USF2000 series. "I've worked with both Gerardo and Jonatan
in the past. They are both very thorough, professional coaches, and our
drivers will learn much from their experience and style."

The coaching program will include briefings, drive-arounds, and
post-session feedback throughout the 12-race season.

Bonilla was the Skip Barber National champion in 2005. He is also a
graduate of the Andersen Racing development system, where he won the Star
Mazda expert champion title in 2006. He was the IMSA Lites champion in
2007. He drove in the American Le Mans Series' LMP2 class in 2008.

Jorge won several Brazilian and North American karting championships. He
was the runner-up in Skip Barber Regional (2001) and National (2002)
competition. He also has experience driving British Formula Renault and
British Formula 3 cars.

"My approach for the series will be primarily focused on big-picture
concerns for drivers," Bonilla said. "Seminars are likely, as well as
focused discussions during drivers' meetings covering issues series
officials normally do not address. Seminar and drivers' meeting topics may
include professionalism, ethics, technical concerns, strategy, mindset,
sponsorship and more. One-on-one coaching will be optional by driver
request. I'll be available for questions, long and short, throughout the
race weekends."

"I believe the approach will be to make sure all the drivers take care
of each other on track, as well as push them to drive the car to its limits
with few mistakes," Jorge said. "Being a coach for the entire series should
be a great experience to learn a bit from every driver and be able to help
each and every one of them, as they all have different needs.

"I'm a big fan of one-on-one coaching; it's more personable and it's
easier to get down to the point. I will analyze everyone and find them
before they have a chance to come find me," he added with a smile.

Bonilla lives in Orlando, Fla., while Jorge is based in Sarasota, Fla.,
so both are near the USF2000 headquarters at Andersen RacePark in Palmetto,
Fla.

Bonilla speaks both English and Spanish. Jorge is fluent in English,
Spanish and Portuguese. Bonilla is originally from Puerto Rico, while Jorge
is Brazilian.
